Bday party 2010

It was quite a memorable one.

We invited 8 kids including Kaju at 4pm.
-ChunMun
-GunGun
-Eva
-Hiya
-Honey
-Baby
-Tanishk
-n ofcourse Kaju

Eva di n Hiya reached home with Sumi mausi,Kaju and nanu as they all went to see CWG exhibition train, at 3:30pm

ChunMun,Gungun reached at 4:30pm.

We waited till 4:50pm as no more kids came, we asked Eva to n call them.

After waiting for 20-25 more mins, we cut the cake and started with the games.
-Puzzle game
-Ballon game
-Search your pair (in animal voice) game

Tanishk joined us,when we were in middle of balloon game.

While we were playing the last game, Honey and baby came and with them came Muskan.

Muskan was the first kid (guest) whom we were not expecting.

By chance I had an extra set of return gifts,so it didn't matter much.

Around 6:30 all kids left,leaving behind Eva, Hiya and Kaju. We were just waving "Bye" to Gungun,when we saw, Gudiya(Megha) all dressed up and with a gift in her hand.

As we were not expecting her, Kaju gave her a strange look but willing excepted gift.

We served her with the snacks and was wondering about her return gift,when Sumi Mausi told us, Aashi and her brother are also coming!!

First question was->who are they?

Sumi Mausi told, they use to be Eva di's friend and when we asked Eva di to go call kids at 4:30pm,she invited all her friends expecting them to be obviously Kaju's friend too.

Some how we managed three return gifts,which were different from whats actually we gave to the expected guest
-Spiderman/Winnie the Pooh/Hanah Montana Rubber
-Pear/Corn/Apple sharpner
-Five star

We ran out of all, so we now gave a Bracelet and toffee to Gudiya, Pen and toffee to Aashi and her brother.

In between all this, Honey, baby joined us back again and seeing the new return gifts,all kids started discussing, "humko to kuch aur mila tha, yeh nahi tha"

Before we could have handled it, there was one more kiddo and no body knew her, not even Eva di

She said to Sumi Mausi:
Kiddo: Mujhe kyun nahi bulaya?
Sumi Mausi: Kahan?
Kiddo: Kaju ki B'day mein..
Sumi Mausi: tum jaanti ho Kaju ko?
Kiddo: Haan...
Sumi Mausi: Khelte ho saath mein
Kiddo:Khelti nahi hun to kya...Kaju ko to janti hun
Sumi Mausi: Theek hai, aa jao.......
Kiddo: Nahi, taiyaar ho kar aaoongi

......... :) Ok now one new guest, means more snacks needed, cake and one more return gift

Trying to figure out this, there was a new kid at our door and she peeped in...

Kid 2:Aunty mujhe bhi nahi bulaya
Sumi Mausi: Aa jao beta
Kid 2: Mein taiyaar ho kar aati hun...meri 2 sis aur hain......

OooKkk! so three more kids........

We had fun at the party but we had more excitement after the party ,with the kids coming as we didn't knew how many more will come

So instead of 8, we got 14 kids :) and we planned party from 4-6pm but it went up till 8:45pm,as and when kids where getting news of Kaju's b'day party,they were coming in :)

I knew Kaju is a bit famous here ,because of his name but didn't I never expected this much popularity :)

Curious Kaju- Intelligent Questions

When he was 3yrs, he use to go to La Petite and everyday after coming back from there,we both will watch Curious George. I think, he got his curiosity from George only :)

Kaju: Mamma, who build the house?
Mamma: Architect

Kaju:From where they learned to build it?
Mamma: They went to college

Kaju:Papa, who build the road?
Papa: Civil Engineer

Kaju:Mamma, how we make electricity?
I have to explain him, Solar electricity, Hydro-power plant, Wind mill, Gobar gas plant,some with videos, as without a proper explanation he was not very convinced.

Kaju: Why are we not able to walk properly on Moon?
I showed him videos of walking on moon and explained gravitational force to him.

Kaju:Mamma, chhota bheem, Mr.Beans are all animation,then how they talk?
I explained him how to add voice to videos

Kaju:What is animation?

Kaju:Mamma, if Earth is inside Krishna's mouth and we live on Earth,so do we live inside Krishna's mouth?

Kaju:If we are inside Krishna's mouth, how loud I need to speak so he can hear me?

Kaju:(On 11 days Ganesh Jhanki)-Why my b'day is celebrated only one day and Ganesha's b'day is celebrated for 11 days?

I remember, I use to ask lot of questions from Papa and at times when he was not able to answer he will say
"Mujhe saare answers kaise pata hongey"
And I will reply "Aap to Papa ho aapko sab kuch pata hona chahiye" :)

Kaju's B'day 18th and 20Sep -year 2010

Last year we celebrated Kaju's b'day on 19th Sep (2009) as we were not getting a party hall on 20th Sep.

And on 20th Sep 2009,on his b'day he went to a Anshita's b'day.

Anshita's actual b'day was on 19th sep, but we booked the hall that day and Kaju's b'day was actually on 20th but Anshita booked it for her party :). So both attend eachothers b'day on each-others b'day!(in US)

This year, we are still not celebrating his b'day on 20th...why?
Not because of party hall but his friend's Gun-Gun B'day is also on 20th Sep and Kaju don't want to celebrate b'day without him :)

Mamma:Kaju,20th Sep Gun-gun cannot come for party
Kaju:Why Mamma?
Mamma: Because its his b'day too..so he will have his own party.
Kaju:Umm..so lets celebrate my b'day on some other day..
Mamma: When?
Kaju: December when Santa Claus will come
Mamma:Oh,it will be too late...what about 19th sep?
Kaju:Ok, but Eva Di cannot come on 19th,she has her exam on 20th
Mamma:Ok, then lets do it on 18th
Kaju: OK, but in evening Ganesh ji Bhajan are there
Mamma: Bhajan at Ganesh ji's jhanki starts at 6pm, lets hv party at 4pm
Kaju: OKayyyyyy!

After so many adjustments done, we have
Kaju's b'day party on 18th Sep 2010 at 4pm Bhopal,India

As Manish is at Bangalore, Kaju's Papa has to miss his 5th B'day celebrations :(

Two Mamma and Two Papa

Kaju: Papa why you call NaniMa, "Ma"

Papa: Because she is my mother

Kaju: But you said DadiMa is your Mother? So you have two mamma?

Papa: Yes,DadiMa is my mother and I married your Mamma, so your mamma's mom became my mother too, its complicated,you won't understand now.

Kaju: Hmm...so you have two mamma's ,then daddu is your Papa and Papa Nanu is also your Papa?

Papa: YES!!

Kaju: So you have two Mamma's and two Papa's!

Papa: yes

Mamma tere naam anek

Whatever Kaju has ever wanted,related to relations, he has always found in me.

When he was around 2-2.5yrs old, he use to call me Mamma. He started pre-school and teachers told Mom. Quite a few times he called me Mom,but I preferred Mamma. Now he needed a solution and got one by calling me - Mamma Mom.

For about a year he called me , Mamma Mom

Then he met Twinkle,his one of the best friends of Childhood. Twinkle use to call me Massi. And Kaju called Twinkle's mom as Aunty. I tried but he didn't say Mausi to Tara (twinkle's mom). And he was desperate to have a Mausi, not in India,Sumi Mausi, because she was too far.

So he started calling me Mamma Mausi. It again went for a year,till we reached Bhopal in March 2010.

Here he met Eva and Hiya, Sumi Mausi's daughter. In malayalam ,Chechi means Didi. Hiya calls Eva as Eva Chechi and not Eva Didi.

Hmm.....Kaju calls Eva as Eva didi, but now who will be Chechi......ofcourse, I got a new name...Chechi too.

Every night he goes to sleep, he wish me good night saying.. Good Night Mamma Chechi :)

Atleast he has been steady with Mamma. As the years pass by lets see how many more variations,names,relations will be added to my name.

Seems Mamma has a variety as he always called Manish as Papa, no suffix no prefix.

Words- in Kaju's language

Its so nice to hear the kids,with there cute pronunciation, with Kaju it was hardly any words which he pronounced wrong.

In 4.11yrs time, we got 5-6 words,to enjoy in kiddish language.Before he clears his pronunciation on them, I want to jot them down.

Word         Kaju says
Yellow         Lellow
Touch         chuch
Potty         Poppy
Pajama         Pachaana \Pachanana
Pani         Paammi

He learned speaking Hindi in Apr-May 2010, few hindi words to his cute dictionary
Word         Kaju says
Mera         Mereka
Paseena         Faaseena
Cheepak gaya         Chapak gaya


Poppy and Pachaana,he used when he was 1.5yrs old and since then they got added to our dictionary.Now though he can speak them clear, we still use these two words.

Waiting for some more to remember as his childhood language

August 1st 2010

Today for the first time, Kaju picked the comb and gave a style to his hair.

Many times till now has he combed his hair,but never tried a new style.

He tried his hair like Aamir Khan in movie "Taare Zameen Par".

I read in a book, at four you come to know how kids will be in their teens, he is 4yrs 10 months 12 days today, I definitely got a glimpse of my teenage boy.

First hair style, Kaju tried all by himself on him.

Auro VS Gandhi ji

I use to have the piggy bank made of mud in my childhood. I got the same for Kaju this time,when we are in India.

Few days back Ade Papa came and Kaju showed his piggy bank to him and Ade Papa gave him, few coins and a Rs100 note to put in piggy bank.

Before he can put in piggy bank, Ade Papa asked him,showing the picture on Rs100 note, "who is he?"

Kaju: hmm..
Ade Papa: Whoes picture is there on Rs100 note?
Kaju: (very innocently replied) Auro

:)

(He saw hindi movie Paa, a month or two back)

Papa Beta- Tu mera dil

Actual plan was that, Papa Beta will sing and I will try to put some Papa-Beta pics in it.

We did accomplish this task, but while recording, Kaju gave some expressions that I though of uploading the original too

Here we go:
